About me

Hello! I am Amber Romanyshyn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Moravian College and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Marywood University.

I believe that everyone can benefit from participating in therapy. Whether you are going through a difficult time or trying to focus on self-improvement, I feel that therapy can be a way to help us all gain awareness of our underlying thoughts, feelings, or issues that may be influencing our worlds. I have been providing counseling for over nine years in a variety of environments, including inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings. I have worked with children, teens, and adults, and I have delivered therapy in individual, group, and family contexts. Much of my experience has been helping people to work on issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family difficulties, and traumas they have experienced. I take pride in the work that I do and am always trying to learn more about how to help people, whether it is through reading updated information about treatment methods or attending trainings to learn more about current treatment strategies.

During sessions, I allow clients to tell me their stories and remain non-judgmental about what they are going through. My relationship with the client is a high priority, and I feel that it is one of the most important aspects of the therapy experience. I prefer for clients to be in control of the therapy sessions but am absolutely willing to provide direction or guidance for treatment as needed. My goal is to help clients with whatever their identified goals are, and I like to check in regularly to make sure that I am on the same page as them. I often will ask for some background information, as this allow me to better understand clients' experiences and help with identifying their strengths and ways they have been resilient in the past. I use a strengths-based approach and typically start by using cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions, as I believe that helping people better understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior can assist them in making changes more quickly in their lives. However, if other approaches seem more appropriate, I will suggest those strategies instead and try to remain flexible throughout the therapy experience.

I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and help you to achieve your goals!

Amber is a wonderful therapist. I have gone through a very difficult few years, and would not have been able to get through them without Amber’s guidance, support, trust, understanding, compassion, and encouragement. She listens, understands, and gives excellent advice. She is always available through messaging and weekly appointments.

Amber is a skilled and knowledgeable therapist- she ~really~ listens to and hears me. She asks open-ended questions to help me explore my thoughts and feelings, and this enables me to come to my own conclusions without her "giving me" the answer. She is also great at providing outside resources to aid in my continued personal development and growth.

Amber is fantastic. She listens and has great ideas on new things to try or different ways of thinking. I really appreciate the fact that she’s always learning / researching and sharing the latest approaches in managing emotional eating (what I came to her for). She is really great and I’m so happy she’s my therapist.

I’ve been working with Amber for about a month now & I would recommend her in a heartbeat to a friend, family or colleague wanting to start therapy. She is amazing!

I love that Amber takes the time to listen to me and gives me different strategies on how to work on the things I struggle with. She lets me take control of the session, but she also helps me get to points and think about things I never realized. She is an amazing therapist, the best I have had so far, and I am extremely excited about working with her further.
